A powerful, heartfelt and predictable action/drama about the life of a firefighter seen in flashbacks. It is about being, and what it takes, to be a firefighter. It is an earnest look into the physical and emotional requirements and the toll it takes. Excellent performances by Joaquin Phoenix, John Travolta and Jacinda Barrett. Members of the supporting cast were very good. Worth a watch... 9/10

Such a good movie and I also liked the irish soundtrack it had! John Travolta was great as usual and Robert Patrick...man he looked healthy in this I gotta say he was in great shape. 6.5/10 I didn't expect the ending which is good:D

Ladder 49 Reviews

I did not really know about this movie and I never saw a preview but was informed on it and I watched it for myself and it is one of the most memorable films I had ever watched.

This movie is sweet, emotional ending, funny, action, drama and everything else you need to have a perfect film. Words alone is not enough to descrie how good this movie is you really have to see it for yourself!

In paying simple tribute to firefighters, Ladder 49 gets to the heart of those who risk their lives for a living. Director Jay Russell brought similar sincerity to his memorable family favorite My Dog Skip, and despite the banalities of an ultra-conventional screenplay by Lewis Colick, Ladder 49 generates so much goodwill toward its Baltimore firemen that you may find yourself unexpectedly overcome with emotional appreciation for guys like Jack (Joaquin Phoenix), a firefighter whose career, courtship, marriage, and fatherhood are viewed in flashback as he struggles to survive in the present-day framing scenes, cut off from his fellow firemen in the fiery guts of a collapsing 20-floor building. There are no surprises in the familiar scenes of male bonding, dangerous rescues, injury and death, and the supportive concern of Jack's wife (Jacinda Barrett), but by focusing on the simple integrity of Jack's personal and professional commitment, the movie gives Phoenix a showcase for unselfish virtue, while John Travolta provides dignified support as Jack's mentor and devoted firehouse captain. Ladder 49 is routine in most respects, but it's a much-deserved valentine to working-class heroes.

Academy Award(R) nominated stars Joaquin Phoenix (Best Supporting Actor, GLADIATOR, 2000) and John Travolta (Best Actor, PULP FICTION, 1994) ignite the intense action in this heroic tale of ordinary men with uncommon courage! As part of a tightly knit brotherhood of skilled firefighters, Jack Morrison (Phoenix) grows from inexperienced rookie to seasoned veteran as he faces a dangerous job that makes him a hero to strangers but often shortchanges his wife (Jacinda Barrett -- THE HUMAN STAIN) and kids. Then, when he becomes trapped in the worst blaze of his career, the things Jack holds most important -- family, duty, courage -- come sharply into focus.

This is one of my fav movies. I never seen a preview for it and I came across it. This movie has a lot of emotions in it and also a lot of good actors in it. It has a lot of sad parts but happy ones to.

i would recommend this movie to everyone. John is one of the best actors!
